Why us

Battery and size

How much space it takes and how quickly it drains a phone — both are in the review.

Offline first

Every review says plainly whether the game works on a plane or a train without signal.

Ads and purchases, measured

We count how often ads interrupt play and what the paid version actually removes.

We finish what we start

A review only goes up after at least a week with the game, not after ten minutes of the tutorial.

Big Bass Splash
Puzzle

Rebuild broken radio circuits. Hard from the start and honest about it.

Dust Rally
Racing

An arcade racer with tight controls and no energy bar between races.

★★★★☆ 4.0
Ember Realms

A pocket role-playing game with a real story and turn-based fights you can pause.

Card Club

Classic card games with a decent offline opponent and no forced online play.

★★★★☆ 4.0

Draw delivery lines across a growing town. Quiet, clever and unforgiving later on.

Editor’s pick

Dust Rally
Racing

Dust Rally

★★★★☆ 4.0

Dust Rally is the arcade racing game we keep coming back to: three-minute races, tilt or touch controls that actually respond, and no energy system stopping you after two goes.

  • No energy system
  • Tilt or touch controls
  • Optional reward ads only
  • Smooth on older phones

Questions & answers

Do you accept payment for reviews?

No. We buy every game and every in-app purchase we write about, and we do not run sponsored posts.

Do you review paid games?

Yes, and we prefer them. A game you pay for once usually treats your attention better than a free one.

Can I republish your reviews?

A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.

How do you choose what to review?

Readers suggest most of them by email. The rest come from what we see people playing around us.
